Aspects of the present disclosure improve operating efficiency of a Terahertz RADAR device, facilitating implementation of Terahertz RADAR on a low power budget. Some aspects of the present disclosure relate to regulating a bias state of a harmonic generation circuit in a receiver and/or transmitter of a Terahertz RADAR device. Some aspects of the present disclosure relate to coupling frequency multipliers between RF amplifiers and RF antennas in a transmitter of a Terahertz RADAR device. Some aspects of the present disclosure relate to frequency multipliers, e.g., in a transmitter of a Terahertz RADAR device, using certain transistor configurations (e.g., common-collector or common-drain). A THz RADAR device May implement one, two, or all three of these aspects.
